Title:
  changelogs of "native" packages are missing

Status in cloud-images:

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/excludes is only allowing
  /usr/share/doc/*/changelog.Debian.* but not
  /usr/share/doc/*/changelog.*

  The result is that even the Debian changelog will be missing for
  "native" packages.

  http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/impish/en/man1/dh_installchangelogs.1.html

            The changelog file is installed with a name of changelog for native packages, and
            changelog.Debian for non-native packages.  The NEWS file is always installed with a
            name of NEWS.Debian.

  I think the excludes file should instead use
  /usr/share/doc/*/changelog.* to include Debian changelogs no matter
  what kind of package "native" vs. "non-native". Doing that would also
  not exclude upstream changelogs, which might grow that image but
  probably be just as valid as keeping the Debian changelog.
